Keep that in mind as you hunt down Cauldrons and decide which Corrupted Overrides to pursue. You can find Overrides for a whole lot of other machines in Horizon Forbidden West, but those machines will only fight for you in battle-they won't let you ride them. You'll need to do the mission that takes you to the Gemini Cauldron to get it. You'll get the Sunwing Override as part of the main story-it's not something you can unlock until you've advanced to a certain point, and you'll be guided toward it. It's not a great fighter, though, and can get pummeled when you ride it into hostile territory. The Sunwing is the fastest mount, of course, and makes it easy to get to some tough-to-reach places on the map. The ability to fly makes getting around the map extremely easy, and you can also trivialize some missions or puzzles with the ability to drop into them from above rather than climb up to them from the ground.


Sunwing The Sunwing makes getting around incredibly easy, but you'll need to advance most of the way through the story to unlock the flying mount.įar and away the best mount is the flying Sunwing, the pteranodon robot you'll have found roosting in a few places. The Clawstrider Override can be gained by completing the IOTA Cauldron you'll find near the northern edge of the map, just north of Scalding Spear. The IOTA Cauldron is off the beaten path, requiring you to head north of Scalding Spear to find it. They're not as big as Bristlebacks, though, so they're a bit more maneuverable and won't get hung up on trees or other obstructions quite as often. These bots are tougher fighters than the other machines you've encountered to this point, making them good allies, but the trade-off is that they're slower as mounts. Clawstrider Clawstriders are vicious fighters, but they're a bit on the slow side as far as Forbidden West's mounts go.ĭeeper into the game, you'll start encountering the velociraptor-like Clawstrider. You'll hit the Repair Bay Cauldron as part of the stories you complete around Plainsong.įind the override for Bristlebacks in the TAU Cauldron (also called the Repair Bay) just west of Plainsong. Bristlebacks are good fighters and usually have a lot of elemental attacks, and they're speedy to ride, which makes them great for getting around and for taking into a fight when you need backup. You can also unlock the ability to ride these large warthog robots fairly early as you work through the story. In the first area you reach in Forbidden West, the Daunt, you'll find the locals struggling with a batch of large machines called Bristlebacks. Bristleback Bristlebacks might be large, but they can hustle when you're riding one. Chargers are fast but weak, so keep in mind that they won't take much damage if you get into trouble while riding one.
#HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST MACHINES CODE#
Aloy starts the game with the override code for the Charger, so you can nab this mount whenever you see it from the start of the game to help you get around quickly. Your first mount in the game is the Charger, the ram-looking machine you'll find in herds early in the game. Charger You start the game with the ability to Override the Charger, so make use of it to get around. For the others, however, you'll need to complete Cauldrons found in the game world. There are four total mounts you can unlock in Horizon Forbidden West, and the first is one you'll inherit from the first game.
#HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST MACHINES FULL#
Here's the full list of mounts you can find in the games and what it'll take to unlock them. We'll keep that one to the end of this list, but note that there will be slight spoilers if you want to uncover that last mount on your own. Overriding each one requires you to venture to and override a specific Cauldron, however, and one mount can't be unlocked until you progress the story to a certain point. While you can eventually turn any machine into a teammate for a brief period with Aloy's Override ability, a handful of machines can be ridden as mounts, making it a lot easier to get around the game world.įorbidden West adds more mounts than were available in the last game, Horizon Zero Dawn, and also includes a couple of robot creatures you might not expect to be able to ride. Even cooler is hacking them to make them your pets, especially since the game is enormous and it's a lot to conquer on your own two feet. Fighting machines is cool in Horizon Forbidden West, but hacking them to make them your allies and turn them against your enemies is cooler.
